He listens during office visits, and…read moreprescribes tests and medication as needed, but always gives me the option to go the route of less intervention rather than more. My father was a physician so I know good medical care when I see it, and Dr. Paley provides excellent primary medical care. It is true that calls to the office may not be returned the same day, but if you contact the office through the on-line patient portal, you almost always get a same-day response. As for the complaint that Dr. Paley pushed the COVID vaccine, medical science has shown that the risk of serious complications or death from COVID is astronomically higher than complications or death from the vaccine. He is following medical science and protocols in advocating that a patient reduce risk by getting vaccinated. But the choice is still the patient's.

His website stated he is accepting new patients. The person on the phone was extremely rude, did not even let me finish my statement. Here's how it went: me:"Hi, I'd like to make an appointment, is Dr. Kawano accepting..." Dr's office person: "No he is not" me: "OK, but your website states that he is...." Dr's office person: "Uh huh, yes it does" me: "So..." Dr's office person: "No he is not" me: "is there another doctor in your practice who is accepting patients?" (since several doctors are listed at the 1 Baywood location) Dr's office person: "no we are a single person practice" me: "OK... You should change the..." She hangs up on me This was at the beginning of the day, so she was not tired or stressed already. What the hell? There are lots of doctors out there, perhaps Dr Kawano needs to review his office staff.

They should learn from before on the better way on scheduling an appointment. I know it is hard to predict how long doctor has to take care each patient but it shouldn't be that difficult. For me looks either double booked or between one and another appointment has very short gap. One time I waited for one hour before get called in. Then in the room.waited for another 30 min. There is nothing wrong with the doctor, it is just frustrated have to wait so long. It is kind like profit over patient time.

My doctor ordered a comprehensive blood panel to investigate the cause of my vitamin deficiency…read moresymptoms. The results were definitive: the complete blood count revealed macrocytic anemia, characterized by elevated mean corpuscular volume, a key indicator of either a vitamin B12 or folate issue. Further tests confirmed my serum folate levels were critically low, diagnosing a significant folate deficiency. The treatment plan was straightforward but required commitment: a regimen of high-dose folic acid supplements paired with a focused dietary overhaul. I began incorporating more folate-rich foods like lentils, beans, and grains into every meal. The first signs of improvement were subtle, but within two weeks, the weariness began to lift as my red blood cell production started to normalize. Over the next month, my energy rebounded significantly, and I felt a renewed sense of well-being that I hadn't realized was missing. This experience was a powerful lesson in how crucial specific micro nutrients are for both physical energy and mental sharpness!

Update: so far One Medical has refused to recode my visit to comply with my insurance coverage. You would think that a subscription service would at least try to minimize your out of pocket by taking a look at your insurance and suggesting which appointment type to book under.

After reading the reviews here, I had a positive experience with nurse practitioner, Judith Alderman. I understood billing could be an issue. I needed a PCP, as we all do, otherwise you can find yourself in heap of a mess, so I called to verify that they accept my insurance. If you have insurance but get a huge bill, call and ask to have it recoded. My first appointment for a heathcare review went well - lots of questions. Judith advised me I no longer needed routine screenings for cervical cancer yet only the week before my DOCTOR, a specialists, wanted to see me every 3 years, so this center should not be your only source for health information particularly if you have other health issues/concerns. The office is comfortable and spacious. The bad fake Fiddle Leaf Fig trees look out of place in the nice office, especially as they sit in front of gorgeous windows with plenty of light. Real Fiddle Leafs are ridiculously easy to care for, and there are places like officeplants.com that will bring and care for live plants. There are health benefits to live plants too, but ok. The lights over the seating area are huge white flowers and are amazing. You do have to download the app but it seems all medical groups either have an app to communicate with patients or will be getting one. UCLA, Sutter Health and Stanford, all share access to your health history and now prescriptions are all electronically sent through a main database, "Prescription Drug Monitoring System". Government agencies, like police departments, have access to PDMS, so let's face it, our healthcare is no longer as private as we'd like. The app is faster when you're expecting lab results or have a question, you'll get responses and results much faster. Overall, a great experience.
